If Pat's wore their away jersey and we brought the home one then maybe but Pat's were the stubborn one's last night.
In my opinion, Pats were dead right. Sligo f*cked up.
I'm not the type of person that defends Pats often but i can't see it any other way.

Your second sentence explains it.
Pat's deserve to get fined for not wearing their away jerseys and are as bad as youz in this, especialy with precedent. But not having a first choice or a third choice jersey is amateur.
ya maybe jako and your sponsor might hold sligo responsible for the fcuk up.
and they would be right too
I wish i did not know then what I dont know now
Really? This is the information I've got to hand but it could be outdated and from season 2007.
Registered 2008 Playing Kits
St Patrick's Athletic:
1st choice:
Shirt: Red and white
Shorts: White and red
Socks: White
2nd choice:
Shirt: Navy, blue and white
Shorts: Navy
Socks: Navy
Sligo Rovers:
1st choice:
Shirt: Red
Shorts: White
Socks: White
2nd choice:
Shirt: Red & white hoops
Shorts: Red
Socks: Red
3rd choice:
Shirt: Black
Shorts: Black
Socks: Black
From the above it would appear that there should not have been any problems last night.
Sligo should have taken two kits to the game, namely their first and third choices.
This would have ensured there would have been no farcical sideline arguments.

where's u get that from? we haven't had a hooped jersey for 10 years and our home kit is all red. a lot of people who have posted on this must be blind because they keep saying our home kit is red and white

Funny thing is that down in Waterford, our white gear 'clashed' with Waterfords Blue gear. Our Navy sleeves were the issue. Seems a bit farcical to be honest. Sligo obviously didn't bring their home gear as it's red. So despite being technically wrong the outcome would have been the same. Pat's should have been asked to wear their away gear.In case anyone is wondering, the navy Pats jerseys eventually worn by Rovers do indeed have white sleeves. They also kept their white shorts to match those worn by PatsMaxi has a word for this...
Who was the referee? Anthony Fücking Buttimer. Also starred at several other "jersey issue matches". They guy is a complete plank.
There, I've said it.
I got no lips I got no bones where there
were eyes there's only space
most of that kit was given to the fans in bray last year.red and white strips was our home kit3-4 years ago
The fact that the match was delayed because of this should mean an automatic points deduction for both clubs. The fact that Sligo wore neither of their registered playing kits should mean an automatic points deduction and the fact that Pats refused to wear their away kit should mean that they too should face a points deduction.
Im sure the FAI will see sense and enforce a points deduction. Fines are stupid as they don't have the same impact as points and its only fair to the other teams in the league that these teams are punished harshly.

main story of ocean fm news at 4 was that Jako Ireland and the McSweeney Group(main club sponsor) are considering taking legal action against the FAI

This is what Jako's boss Nick Brujos told the THE STAR. Its only words and Im sure he doesn't have the money to sue the FAI. Only an opinion there. Ironically Jako's sponsorship has not been launched yet and will be launched next Wednesday.

why are the white sleeves never a problem when arsenal play spurs?
We're gonna win the league!!!!!
Im not tryng to be funny. The Star mentions a points reduction and due to the serious nature of this I think that it is justified. Its clear that both clubs have broken rules here. -9pts

Amateur hour all round. Fantastic piece of ammunition for the cynical PL fans to use against the league. A ****ing joke
I've already had one Liverpool barstooler trying to wind me up about it.

Leaving aside Arsenal's change to a wine jersey this is probably the most sensible point made in six pages of thread. The ref was too fussy. Consider the following games last season:
St Pats v Wisla Krackow (all white jersey)
St Pats v Shamrock Rovers (hooped jersey with white sleeves)
St Pats v Spurs (all white jersey)
St Pats v Galway Utd (all white jersey)
Where's the difference with these jerseys and what Sligo proposed to wear last night? They should fine the ref and relegate him.
Boo Hoo Boy another paranoid anti-Dub.dont worry pats will get there way because there from dublin
You guys really need to cop yourselves on and get over your inferiority complex. We hear the this nonsense all the time from anti-Dub GAA neanderthals but I didn't know it was present with Eircom League fans and I'd assume you are a small and petty minority.
Jako's contract is with Sligo not the FAI. I'm sure they can sue Sligo but the FAI do not have to answer to them.
Also Jako could have had the foresight to provide a third strip for Sligo if they were that worried about the exposure
Well which is it? Blaming the referee is a cop out. The rule should possibly be tweaked but blaming a referee for enforcing a rule is lunacy. Starting a season with one kit is shambolic on a Limerick level.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
